Vocal Health Workshop, Belfast

About the event

The MU are delighted to work in collaboration with BAPAM (British Association For Performing Arts Medicine) to offer our members a vocal health workshop with Eimear McCarthy Luddy (MMus).

Three-quarters of musicians have health problems that can impact their creative work, ranging from minor inconveniences to career-limiting conditions (Ackermann, Kenny 2014). Many of these conditions could be prevented by healthy practice.

This session focuses on evidence-based practical skills and draws from performance experience, research findings, psychology, and proven vocal health clinical pathways. The session will last for one hour and participants will learn:

• The basics of care and maintenance to avoid vocal problems
• How to identify the signs and symptoms if they do occur
• How to manage issues, promote good health, and where to go for help.
